I pulled the latest changes from github and created a fresh Debian Jessie Armbian Image for my BananaPi M2+. Specifically, I run: BOARD=bananapim2plus BOARD_NAME="Banana Pi M2+" VERSION=5.21 LINUXFAMILY=sun8i BRANCH=default ARCH=arm
Now I face the following issue: In order to use AP6216 with hostapd in access point mode, I added "bcmdhd op_mode=2" to /etc/module. I tried a number of things, e.g. using dhd instead of bcmdhd but without success? Any ideas where I can configure AP6216 in op_mode=2 (access point mode) with the new driver? Or any ideas where I can find additional documentation?
The access point mode is an important feature for me, so I am also considering using an older armbian version. With which release tag, did the new BCM driver got introduced?

Hi there,
I pulled the latest changes from github and created a fresh Debian Jessie Armbian Image for my BananaPi M2+. Specifically, I run:
BOARD=bananapim2plus
BOARD_NAME="Banana Pi M2+"
VERSION=5.21
LINUXFAMILY=sun8i
BRANCH=default
ARCH=arm
Through a lot of debugging and googeling, I found that the latest armbian Image uses a different BCM driver (https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/issues/484).
Now I face the following issue:
In order to use AP6216 with hostapd in access point mode, I added "bcmdhd op_mode=2" to /etc/module. I tried a number of things, e.g. using dhd instead of bcmdhd but without success?
Any ideas where I can configure AP6216 in op_mode=2 (access point mode) with the new driver?
Or any ideas where I can find additional documentation?
The access point mode is an important feature for me, so I am also considering using an older armbian version. With which release tag, did the new BCM driver got introduced?
thx,
